This is a good COE park that could be great except for a couple items. Many of the sites have beautiful waterfront views and lake access. The park attendants are very nice and helpful. Two negative comments: (1) Some of the campers are weekend boat party people that block roads with their boat trailers and race in and out in their pickup trucks to a nearby boat ramp. "Watch out for the safety of your kids and pets." (2) The showers were almost always had worms on the floors and walls - this is a little creepy when you are trying to get yourself clean. One morning the shower was full of mud and there were ticks on the wall and shower curtain - most likely the result of an inconsiderate camper who brought a muddy dog into the shower. The following comment is not a reflection on the park, but it should be noted by all who plan to visit the area. The entire Anderson, SC area has had a problem with a high algae count in the water supply from Lake Hartwell most of the summer. You can smell and taste the algae and you can't boil it out. Bring your own bottled water for drinking purposes. - Picture It

We love this campground and we come every summer. We stayed in site 91 this go around. We like to utilize the sites on the lake for swimming and boating. We rent a boat from a local marina each summer. There are many types of sites to choose from here. Some lake front, some inland. Shaded and very private, also. There are plenty of bathhouses with semi-private showers. Some bath houses are more up to date than others. Usually the water is very hot in the bathhouse, but for some reason it was only lukewarm on this trip. There are grocery stores and a place to buy ice right down the street. Even though we love this campground, I gave it a rating of a 8 because there are a few things that need some attention. The first are the picnic tables. Some sites have concrete picnic tables. They are extremely uncomfortable to sit at. The seats are too close and it is very hard on the elbows. In addition, they can't be moved so this made it difficult to fit everything in our site the way we wanted to. These definitely need to be removed and updated with more comfortable tables. The second problem that needs attention is the cleanliness of the beach areas. The staff needs to maintain the waterfront areas at each campsite. We are seeing the same garbage year after year, such as an old rolled up carpet, etc... To see the same garbage at the same campsite 3 years in a row is ridiculous. In addition, right outside the front gate is some trash along the road. I know that is not their responsibility, but I would think they would report it and have it cleaned up so the entrance would be pleasant looking. We stay at a lot of COE campgrounds and this is the only one that needs some attention with cleanliness. - going2mountains

This was our first time visiting this campground. We stayed in site 98 directly on the lake. The site was leaf blown before we got there, the lady asked us if things were satisfactory, and it was. The site itself was very spacious (pull through) and because of the manner of parking, the actual site is behind your vehicle and therefore very private. Sites were spaced with wooded areas in between, which was by far the best I have seen in campgrounds everywhere. On top of everything, the sites were grouped together and served by a separate pull off, so thru traffic on the main road did not immediately pass by our site. Awesome! The staff was very friendly and helpful, greeting us coming and going. We decided to spend an extra night. We'll be back! - knay111
